49 Months a Vegan! Here is my salad dressing recipe. #Simple #hatepublicspeaking #lovethemessage

I had the honor of speaking to an audience about my personal lifestyle changes over the past 4 years following a lecture on whole foods plant based no oil eating given by Dr. Joel Kahn last week.

In case you missed it, I gave out a recipe for a healthy, simple salad dressing. Here it is again. 

Hope you like it as much as I do!

Romaine and Kale with sweet bell peppers and tomato

     There is absolutely no reason in the world to eat oil period. It doesn't matter if it's vegetable, olive, coconut, safflower, canola, etc, They are all oil and oil damages the endothelial lining of your arteries.  It is the most calorie dense food out there. One tablespoon is 120 calories taking up almost no room in your stomach, adding no nutrition that you couldn't be getting from whole foods. If you have a history of heart disease, a family history of heart disease or you just want a future without heart disease, stay away from oil!!!  ← (that's a link...)

     When you are trying to lose weight, you should go for foods that fill your stomach yet are very low in calories. These are the foods that Weight Watchers assigns Zero points and tells you to eat them as much as you want. Any fruit or vegetable that grows above the ground will do. Stretching out your stomach with low calorie whole foods tells your brain you are full and don't need to eat anymore. Here's my simple salad dressing:

NO OIL SALAD DRESSING

Red Wine Vinegar

Agave nectar (may substitute Mandarin orange slices)

Rosemary

Lemon Juice

Onion flakes

Black pepper

Mix up a nice large salad in a bowl. Drizzle on the vinegar, lemon juice and a little agave nectar. Sprinkle on the seasonings. Toss. That's it! Simple. This is how my mother used to do it. There was no measuring. Add or subtract any seasoning you like and enjoy!!!
